JEFFERSON COUNTY — It’s a tough call when the guy you want to be the next president of the United States comes to town around the same time as a key Bronco game.

What to do?

For the Koontz family: Buy a little battery operated radio, don the whole family in Broncos jerseys, and head out to stand in line to see GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

“This is more important than the Broncos. We need to take the country back,” Kym Koontz said.

Eric said they were teaching their daughters — neither of whom are old enough to vote — a little civic lesson on a Sunday.

Romney is to hold a rally in about an hour at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School in Jefferson County. He will head to Pueblo Colorado tomorrow.

“We’ve just had to work hard, really, really hard,” Eric Koontz said. “There is just too much uncertainty.”

Take your country back from who? The godless liberal commie unwashed hordes? Just asking.

Who else is there except the do nothings that are taking us down.

Denise White

Agree with K.G. They must watch Faux News!!!! Who wants to go back when we are halfway there? (Could be further along if there was more UNITED! energy in our government—instead of trying to tear this country apart!

The Koontz family made the correct decision. Obama is destroying our country and will continue if he gets a second term.

Who wants to go back when we are halfway there? asks Denise White. OMG! $5.4 trillion more in debt than we were four years ago? “Bankrupt America? Yes, We Can!” should be Obama’s campaign theme in 2012.
